                         Thursday, June 7, 2012

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Father John 
Carlin, who is celebrating his 25th Anniversary as Pastor of St. 
Charles Borromeo Parish.
  Father Carlin graduated from Borromeo College Seminary in 1972 and 
later from St. Mary Seminary in 1976. Later that year he was ordained a 
priest for the Diocese of Cleveland. In 1987, Father Carlin was 
appointed Pastor of St. Charles Borromeo Parish at the young age of 38.
  As Pastor, Father Carlin has been a loving and compassionate leader 
of his church. He provides guidance and hospitality for his 
parishioners and serves as a mentor to seminarians. He is dedicated to 
the spiritual and educational development of each parishioner and has 
helped maintain St. Charles Borromeo School during his time as Pastor. 
Every building of the nearly 90-year-old parish has been updated and 
renovated under Father Carlin's pastorate. This year marks Father 
Carlin's 25th anniversary as Pastor of St. Charles Borromeo Parish.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honoring Father John 
Carlin, the Pastor who has shown tremendous leadership and guidance to 
his parish for the past quarter century.
